What to know

Oris has introduced the Aquis Date Kelp Forest Limited Edition, a new 1,000-piece diving watch designed to raise awareness of declining underwater kelp habitats. Developed with inspiration from underwater photographer and Oris ambassador Francis Pérez, the textured, 3D-printed dial shifts between dark green and golden accents, recalling sunlight filtering through a forest beneath the sea.

The stainless-steel Aquis case measures 41.5mm across and carries a green ceramic 60-minute diving bezel, screw-down crown and 300m water resistance. The date is at six, with luminous markers and hands standing out against the iridescent dial. A numbered solid back brings the conservation theme to the reverse.

Oris uses its familiar automatic Calibre 733, based on the Sellita SW200-1, with approximately 41 hours of power reserve. The edition is delivered on a stainless-steel bracelet with quick-change and adjustment systems. First reported as available on October 20, it is priced around CHF 2,450 in Switzerland or US$2,950 in the US.
